Episode description

Kevin (CEO, PROOF) is joined by Derek (Collab+Currency), Amanda (PROOF Culture & Community), Sam (PROOF Director of Research). The crew debates about Friend Tech before discussing the latest art drops from diewiththemostlikes and William Mapan. Then they get into the Nouns DAO fork and SEC vs. Stoner Cats, with a little detour of Amanda getting lost in Monaverse. 

They’re later joined by special guest artist Lars Wander. They dive into his prior works, his Meme Machine Discord bots, and what’s up next for him.
